You do not have sufficient access to uninstall LiveUpdate

Question

Just bought a new PC with Vista Business OS. I tried to install my old Symantect anti-virus product but it was too old and was having compatibility issues so i uninstalled it. It also installed LiveUpdate. When I try to uninstall LiveUpdate, it gives me this error message:

You do not have sufficient access to uninstall LiveUpdate 1.7 (Symantec Corporation).Please contact your system administrator.

I am not on a domain and running as the local administrator account. Any suggestions?
